When I was a kid I went through a kick where my favorite after school snack was a banana & chunky peanut butter. I would sit with the jar of peanut butter on my lap & spread each bite of the banana with it. I don't know what made me think of that lately but it inspired these muffins.These were certainly a hit around our house, Matt had eaten two before I even knew it. The balance of the banana & peanut butter flavor is just right without one overpowering the other. I like them best a little warm, maybe with a touch of good butter, yum.

I didn't have chunky peanut butter in the house so I used creamy & them just added some chopped peanuts for the texture. If you have chunky go ahead & leave the peanuts out.

This is fantabulous! My mom and I love to make banana sandwiches by halving a banana and then spreading peanut butter in the middle when we get the munchies, so these muffins are like the holy grail of afternoon snacks.
